Chelsea boss Emma Hayes has called for a bigger push to sell out Wembley for the Women’s FA Cup final after Barcelona attracted a record-breaking crowd of 91,553 earlier this season.
The Catalans could break that record again when they play Wolfsburg at the Nou Camp tonight. But the record crowd for a women’s FA Cup final stands at 45,423 while 40,942 attended December’s delayed final, which saw Chelsea defeat Arsenal 3-0.
The Blues will look to retain their trophy when they play Manchester City on May 15 and Hayes believes there needs to be a better marketing campaign to ensure the game takes place in front of a packed out stadium.
